Sometimes a line of braille is too wide to fit on the braille display. You can "pan" the line by pressing the left and right advance bars on the display to move through the line. Each left or right pan moves according to the number of cells (including status cells) your display contains. For example, if your Braille display is 18 cells wide, each left or right pan moves the line 18 cells to the left or right. If your Braille display is 40 cells wide, each left or right pan will move the line 40cells to the left or right.
VoiceOver uses dots 7 and 8 indicate you can pan the display left or right. As an entire line of Braille can not be displayed at one time using the current number of Braille cells available on your Braille Display, dots 7 and 8 notify the reader there is still more coming pan right.
When you move the VoiceOver cursor using the VoiceOver keys, the braille display automatically pans when necessary to follow it, even wrapping to the previous or next line.
Make sure to mark your place using router keys. Typically my students press the last router on the right, followed by the right advance bar, and then press the first router key (not the status cell)to the left to display the cursor. This procedure works well for keeping your place, navigating blank lines, and provides a visual location on screen for the teacher.
